Dino Discovery Pack

The pterodactyl actually soars pretty well once my son balances the wings right, which surprised me for a snap-together toy. Building the long-neck giant took us a solid half hour and he kept going back to tweak it.

My kid hasn't put these down since the box arrived. The way the pieces snap together to build a T-rex and then a pterodactyl in the same sitting is exactly what I was hoping for — creative and engaging without needing my help every two minutes.

My son figured out the T-rex build in about ten minutes and now he's mixing the pieces to make his own weird hybrid dinos, which is honestly the point. Only gripe is that you don't get quite enough pieces to build a full long-neck and a pterodactyl at the same time.
